If July played on this map, he could win the OSL.

Or if XellOs would stop DDR.

i wish ICCup would sponsor a fun amateur map like PGT did in season 9 when they used The Artist, that game produced some nice games, and for motivation to play it they had it giving 150% which i thnk is good 
We should bring that shit back again. I'd petition it

Faoi is in ICCup, and has been a MOTW most weeks of the season =/
Also, I believe pgt's MOTS was 130, motw was 120.
For those of you suggesting hosting tournies with just amateur maps, who would come? gosugamers.net's Avaton Tournaments featured all regular maps and 2 bwm maps each time, and they were marginally successful. We just got so few replays from the tournament, because NastyMarine didn't want to make replay reporting compulsory. If a gg.net hosted tournament could only give us like 3 replays total, with very little to no feedback, what good could a tourney organized by the little guys do? =/
Alternatively, we could organize showmatches. Whistler beat White-Ra in a showmatch, on two bwm maps, but that just gave us a couple bad/short replays without feedback. Replays are nice, but specific feedback is often better. However, it's very hard to get players who are busy in TSL, iccup in general, the various clanleagues, etc, to take time to play on maps they don't know, especially maps which play radically different.
I don't want to randomly pm players and see if they're willing, anyone know a player who might be interested? We don't need great players, but the higher the skill the better.
About tournaments, who here would be interested in tournaments which had all amateur maps? The maps used wouldn't be beta maps, they'd be maps we were pretty sure about I assume oO What about a tournament using Waiting to Panic as opposed to normal standard maps? Hosting tourneys isn't hard, if there are enough players interested.
edit: Chill I think I have an idea which can help mediate the issue you're talking about, with being unable to safely fall back to a choke kind of thing, without damaging the map's concept. If my muse moves me I should be able to get it done soon, if ap test cramming doesn't get in the way.

I was thinking more like tournaments for people that dont play that competitively. Of course it wont be the best replay quality, but it's a start. Take for example clan ar, you could ask them how many people would be interested. I'm sure there are more clans like that willing to try different maps. For exmample, I have used for our games with some guys of a forum bwm.net maps for 3v3 because they are quite fun to play, better than hunters. Mostly used Eon Blue and Dune 2000 but also played on Inner Cloister and Snake Pit. If there's interest i could upload some reps to the site (though for 3v3 it doesnt matter much). We just don't use other maps because we dont focus much on competitive 1v1 (it's just for fun, all team games and UMS).

regardless the replies, regardless quality or not of the map, regardless the arguments etc.. I wish every map maker presented their maps the way you did in the op. great OP

Hmm, I hope its ok for me up bump this. Waiting to panic is an awesome map, and I would love to see it in amateur tournies, just for small prizes. I don't know if its perfectly balanced now, or for high tier play, but its fun as hell and players can always over come imbalance, which is always present.
